“Tahiana was absolutely wonderful looking after our dog, Socks, while we were in Cambridge for the weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring and lovely she is. She kept us updated throughout with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to relax knowing Socks was in such good hands. She really took the time to get to know Socks and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was obvious from all the updates that he was having a fantastic time—and when we got back, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had formed a lovely bond with her. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you so much again, for taking such amazing care of Socks!”
“Maddie was a wonderful dog and house sitter! Greta to communicate with and brilliant at following instructions and looking after the house. Dora had a wonderful time with her and we will definitely be booking her again soon!”
About: Hello! I’m Declan, a Vet currently completing further specialised training at Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital. I live 2 minutes from the hospital itself. I have been a registered vet for three years and am happy to help look after your animal, especially if they need additional needs such as medications / injections. I currently work full time but am able to come home at lunch / when needed for treatments. Weekends I am able to accommodate based on provisional bookings. Not all weekends are possible due to my job :) I have a fenced garden and no animals living with me. Any cats would be strictly indoors only. All doors and windows are kept locked during the day. Any further questions or concerns do let me know! Happy to chat
“Our Puppy Dexter had a lovely time with Ellen today. She is a very friendly and thoughtful person. We hope to use her services in the near future. We came home after getting married and Dexter was so calm, resting in his bed. Thank you so much! We highly recommend Ellens services. 🙏”
“Yi-Hao was the absolute dreamiest person to look after griff whilst I was in Cambridge for a gig. Griffy was so happy to hang. Went above and beyond and left our Airbnb in better state than we left it. Would highly recommend !!!”
“Kleo provided exceptional care for our dog Jellybean. It was our first time leaving JB with a sitter since rescuing her just a few months ago so, naturally, I was a little nervous. But Kleo came to meet JB twice before we left for our trip, which really helped. She was super communicative the whole time (1 week), sending us photo and video updates and checking in with any questions about JB’s routine. Kleo also took great care of our house. We would 100% leave JB with Kleo again, and would highly recommend her for pet and house sitting!”
“We were so happy to have Larissa look after our whippet Rupert, again. He has separation anxiety meaning he doesn't like be left alone, and Larissa takes such great care of him, keeping us updated the whole time. I know he loves being with her as he was looking for her after she left! I cannot recommend Larissa enough and we feel very lucky to have found her.”
“Indrė looked after my German Shepherd x collie Rocky for 2 nights and did an absolutely incredible job. Her communication is excellent and she stuck to the schedule and routine provided really thoroughly which is exactly what he needs; I felt really confident that Rocky was in good hands and came home to a happy dog! Indrė is extremely trustworthy and lovely and I will definitely be asking her to come back!”
“Rocio was everything we wanted and more in a sitter. Winston had an amazing week and received so much care and affection from Rocio. I received multiple updates every day with photos letting me know what he had been up to and returned to a very clean home and a very tired and satisfied pup!”
About: Lifelong animal lover. Grew up with three dogs, two cats, hamsters and a rabbit. Volunteered as a cat carer in Singapore and fed community cats. Self-employed with a flexible schedule, so I work around your pet's routine. Midday drop-ins, evening feeds, walks, or full-time house sitting all fit in easily. I care for pets in your home so surroundings stay familiar. I secure doors and gates, follow your instructions on medication, and contact your vet.
About: I am a vet student and have recently moved to Cambridge after growing up in the countryside in Cornwall surrounded by animals. I love looking after animals of all shapes and sizes. I'm new to Rover and I can't wait to meet the pets of Cambridge! As a full-time student my schedule is variable week to week and depending on term dates. However, I have plenty of free-time to fit in walks, check-ins and sitting, particularly on the weekends. Feel free to reach out for my availability. I am more than happy to follow any set schedules and routines for your pets as you prefer, including dinner routines, favourite walking locations and playtime.
“Elinor was fantastic house sitting our 7 month old golden retriever puppy over the 3 days! We were delighted with the care she gave our golden retriever puppy. Puppies can be quite a handful, but she was patient, kind, and clearly cared for her as if he were her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed puppy and a tidy house, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip, and her communication was excellent. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring house sitter, and we’d happily ask her to sit for us again.”
“Ralf is an absolute delight to deal with. His service is a great combination of professionalism and an evident genuine love for dogs. The pre meet up allowed for us to confirm that Ralf and my French Bulldog, Ivy, were the right fit for each other but also provided me with a great level of comfort of knowing that I’m living my dog in the good hands. Ralf takes his job very seriously, asking questions about how to handle the dog in the best manner and provided me with daily updates and photos/videos throughout the whole stay. He also left the place in the immaculate state. I would highly recommend Ralf’s services and I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you for everything, Ralf!”
“This was the second time Francesca looked after our puppy and she has built up a really nice rapport with Olive- lots of nice photos of them going for walks and Olive was so calm around her. Highly recommended!”
“Vicki was great with my two dogs when she sat them for a week or so! My two dogs can be a handful, and my boiler had a little malfunction that week, but Vicki handled it all with grace and quick communication. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’m a PhD student at the Uni, proudly owned by a 6-year-old cat. I’d love to offer cat-sitting help in a thoughtful, gentle, and endlessly patient way. I truly believe good communication between cat owners and sitters is essential—because our fluffy family members deserve nothing less than royal-level service. Let’s team up to keep your little furball happy!
“Krissie was great - we connected at sort notice for a 2 days sit over the Bank Holiday weekend. She was great at communicating, came and left as agreed, and asked good intelligent questions that showed she was focussed on our hound's wellbeing. The weather was very hot and she made sure he was exercised in the cooler parts of the day. The house was clean and Reggie was happy on my return. Great sitter, would use again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cambridge is £37

Emma came to stay in our home and look after our Golden Retriever and Labrador for 8 days, they can be a bit of a handful and one needs regular medication, Emma took care of them as if they were her own, we returned to a clean home and two very happy and relaxed dogs. Emma is great with communication, we received regular pictures and updates. We are very grateful to Emma and would highly recommend her!
Had a five star experience with Jack looking after my 5 pets! Jasmine’s partner stepped in and did a fantastic job. He was at all times professional but also so friendly and really keen that the animals were taken care of and and this gave me the peace of mind essential when you leave all 5 dogs and cats at home! He kept in touch via regular updates while I was away which was so reassuring. I would 100% recommend Jack to anyone looking to use his services. He was amazing!
Kleo was absolutely great at looking after my GSD x collie Rocky! He’s a big boy and needs to avoid other dogs when on walks and Kleo managed this super sensibly and well. She stuck to his routine and I really trusted her to look after Rocky. Highly recommend!
We had such a positive experience and would absolutely recommend giselle and john. Beannie was clearly very happy and comfortable in their company and received lots of love, attention and lovely walks while we were away. We really appreciated the regular updates and always felt that we knew how she was getting on. Giselle was incredibly communicative, responsible and considerate throughout, and we really appreciated their honesty and how thoughtfully they cared for Beannie. It was very reassuring knowing she was with people who genuinely cared about her. They were also so respectful of our home and left everything exceptionally clean and tidy. They’re genuinely lovely, friendly and interesting people, and Beannie clearly really enjoyed having them around. We would absolutely be happy to have them look after her again!
Abbie was a lovely carer for our two dogs and kept our home neat as a pin. She took the girls on adventures every day and had snuggles, sending us daily updates with photos and letting us know all the news. We would highly recommend her as a responsible and kind dog sitter. Two paws up!! ❤️🐶🐶
Indrė looked after my German Shepherd x collie Rocky for 2 nights and did an absolutely incredible job. Her communication is excellent and she stuck to the schedule and routine provided really thoroughly which is exactly what he needs; I felt really confident that Rocky was in good hands and came home to a happy dog! Indrė is extremely trustworthy and lovely and I will definitely be asking her to come back!
Francesca took excellent care of Pixie, including multiple walks, lots of attention and tons of cuddles. We had regular updates and fun pics sent our way throughout the day. So cute! Francesca was a very respectful and considerate house sitter, too, and we will definitely be booking with her in the future.
A really successful house sit! Once again our lively cockapoo had a wonderful time with Ralf. We felt reassured by regular photos, videos and updates, and by how relaxed and happy our dog was when we came home. Ralf looked after our home and my plants too. Will definitely book again.
We really appreciated Sophia sitting for our two boys when we stayed in Cambridge. Without her, my wife and I wouldn't have been able to attend our son's graduation together. Sophia was very flexible, as when we initially booked we did not know the exact times, and needed to change slightly. She was very friendly and punctual, and we recommend her as a sitter.
We had Ellen come watch our dog while we were away on a short trip. She stopped by several times a day and made sure Arwen got walked, had food and water. And always left her with a treat toy. Ellen was great about sending pictures and updates, and left the house clean before we came back. We would definitely book Ellen again for short stays.

FAQs for House Sitting – Cambridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cambridge on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Cambridge walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cambridge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
